Atlético interrupted their unbeaten streak and missed the opportunity to match points with Real Madrid. Well, this is a familiar situation for Atlético, when they come to the point where they have the opportunity to top the table, some kind of failure occurs. Las Palmas are not the strongest team, although they play very well at home. In any case, despite the loss, Atletico maintained a 3-point gap over Real.
I really don't know what is happening with Atletico Madrid especially when they are in their best form in La Liga matches. It was surprising that they had to suffer defeat against Las Palmas who basically did not have a good form compared to Atletico Madrid.

Las Palmas are not too bad especially in the way they defend and build attacks, but Atletico Madrid are clearly favored due to the depth of their squad. Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid had to suffer defeat when they had the opportunity to lead the standings from Girona and Real Madrid, which was something that surprised many people.

The Legendary level is reached when you have at least 1000 merits, and are active between 800-1200. This then varies depending on several factors decided by the forum algorithm. And because of this, you never know for sure when you will go up to Legendary.
The requirements for Legendary are 1000 merit and activity between 775 to 1030. Each user will achieve them on different activity and they are usually awarded randomly. I ranked up to Legendary when my activity was 1134, but several other unique users reached below 800 or less than 900 activity.

Here's how it works: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0

If you don't have any goals in this forum then I guarantee you will never be motivated to achieve anything. I truly believe that 99% of contributors really care about achievements regardless of rank or reputation, and to be honest that is something to be proud of.

Especially for you, congratulations for anything that makes you proud even though some users may think it's not a big achievement that requires a thread for celebration. Something small can become big when you don't stop trying and keep trying your best to improve, so never give up and know that your journey is still very long.

I agree with you. Even if it comes down to the UEFA Europa competition, I think a strong candidate who can compete is Sevilla. I have already mentioned that if you look at Sevilla's current performance in Group B, it is very likely that they will go down to the UEFA European League and they will be strong contenders for the title along with Liverpool. United will not provide significant resistance in the European league in the future and as you have said, it is impossible to improve the team's performance in a short time.
I tend to expect Sevilla to qualify for the round of 16 rather than going down to the Europa League like last season. Of course there is a good chance for Sevilla to compete fiercely if they go down to the Europa League, but this team must set high goals in the Champions League instead of just participating in the group stages.

Sevilla still has a chance to qualify because I don't think Lens can win many games either. Sevilla, PSV and Lens have a chance of qualifying, but one of these three teams will go down to the Europa League this season. Lens can also be expected to perform well if they enter the Europa League this season, but Sevilla can certainly do better as reigning champions.

I know, Real Madrid management will not miss Kylian Mbappe and Victor Osimhen after their contact expire in their current team because all those two strikers are very good to help Real Madrid to handle the attacking level which is the major challenge to the team right now despite they are still toping in the la Liga league competition. I believe, the Kylian Mbappe is willing to join Real Madrid in the summer but PSG management refuse to let him go because it will make their team to experience some challenges that will give other small teams access to start defeating them. If Real Madrid management can succeed in signing Kylian Mbappe, I think they will dominate in other competitions for the whole world to believe that Real Madrid sign in the right player.
Are you sure that Kylian Mbappe wants to go to Real Madrid without any considerations such as his competition with Bellingham, Vinicius or other players in terms of individual achievements?

I'm sure Kylian Mbappe really wants to win an individual award like Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, it's the Ballon d'Or and of course his competition with several Real Madrid players could make him fail to win it. If Kylian Mbappe wants to go to La Liga, then I think he would be better off moving to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid if his main goal is to win the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League. But if he wants to win the Champions League, then he can choose Real Madrid as one of the best teams in history.

I can say that Sevilla is the king of the UEFA European League. They have won seven trophies in the UEFA European League. They are always favorites to win and they often advance to the final round. It's just that this year I feel Liverpool is a strong candidate to win this championship. Sevilla's chances of qualifying from group B are a little difficult because they are currently in 3rd place in the standings.
It seems difficult, but don't you consider that Sevilla still has a chance to qualify for the round of 16 this season?
Sevilla are kings in the Europa League, of course because they always win the title every time they reach the final. It's almost the same as Real Madrid in the Champions League final, when they get to the final then they will most likely win it.

Liverpool are one of the favorites in the Europa League this season, but Roma, Atalanta and Leverkusen also seem to have a good chance. Several teams that will fall out of the Champions League can also be favourites, especially Sevilla, Manchester United, Newcastle or Dortmund if they fail.

I am a 20-year-old student. Not long ago, I heard a famous cryptocurrency expert in Korea on YouTube.

He said, "Bitcoin investment seems to be late, to be honest. I'm sad, too. I think 2018 was the last chance for ordinary people."

This makes me feel depressed. That expert started investing in bitcoin in 2013, and he encouraged his acquaintances to invest in bitcoin, but at that time he said everyone thought he was crazy.

Honestly, as an ordinary college student, the price of bitcoin now feels too much to buy.. If it's the price of the early 2010s, I might have bought it through a part-time job..

I'm so pathetic and depressed because I didn't know Bitcoin quickly. What should I do? Cry
Stop all your complaints and start investing as much as you can bear the risk. You were not created to grow and bloom at the same time as people who were earlier know about bitcoin, but you can still grow and bloom at another time. Expensive prices are not the reason why you don't invest, believe me because you are not obliged to buy 1 bitcoin but you only need to buy whatever amount as long as you have a budget.

It's never too late, you just have to try. Do it now or never, then stop complaining because it won't solve anything.
568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Simple Reason Why Bitcoin is not Money on: November 03, 2023, 04:02:24 AM
I can't use bitcoin as money in my country, especially in the real world, but bitcoin is a high-value asset. Bitcoin is money in other countries, it has been legalized and adopted everywhere. Bitcoin is not required to be a legal currency in all of country in the world, but it is more likely to be accepted as the best payment option with various advantages compared to other payments. You don't need to queue for hours at the bank in the middle of rush hour to send more money across borders, bitcoin is a great option to choose.

Bitcoin is a currency in another country, but you are not required to recognize it as currency. Even without recognizing it as money, I think you can still use it as a means of online payment wherever Bitcoin is accepted. It's just that, if you don't recognize it as money then I have no reason why you should debate it with those who have accepted it as currency.

Real Madrid is not completely safe from leading the standings even though they currently have several points ahead of Barcelona. Girona are level on points with Real Madrid, as are Atletico Madrid if they win their postponed match. Game by game it will be tough for all the teams although for now Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid look unstoppable, but yes they may still drop points in some of their other games in November or December.

Right now Barcelona is 4 points behind Real Madrid and Girona, but there are many people who believe that Barcelona can close the point gap when the team above them slips. I don't know which team can beat the current leaders besides Atletico Madrid, but Real Madrid cannot underestimate Rayo Vallecano in the next match.

Manchester United's defeat against Newcastle did not surprise me at all. Rather, I expected such a result. The Newcastle team is very organized. And they are strong enough. Manchester United on the other hand is strong, but the chemistry between the players is weak. And this is why the team is consistently performing poorly.

Ten hag lost against Eddie Howe's match strategy. If we consider these two squads then undoubtedly Manchester United is the stronger team. But still they lost 3-0. United's main weakness this season is that their forwards are not performing well. In this match, ten Hag kept its formation unchanged. And as usual Manchester United's attacking performance was abysmal. Ten Hag should change his match strategy very quickly. If not, they will not be able to be in the top 10 of the points table.
Nothing too surprising, of course, but Manchester United have spent a lot of money building their squad this season. Maybe everything is not as expected, that's it and people just need to be more patient to get Manchester United to compete closely with any team.

Manchester United's defense this season has been too bad even when Maguire has proven his change. This is obviously a major problem for Ten Hag to solve, but they have also seen a lot of improvement in their attacking players. Rashford is very different this season, he seems to have lost his sharpness as a striker where he was only able to score 1 goal and 3 assists from 14 matches in 3 different competitions. Rashford only scored 1 goal in 10 Premier League matches, clearly really bad for a striker who last season had 17 goals in 35 matches.

As far as I know, safe haven means that the asset not only needs to meet profits but its safety needs to be guaranteed and in this case only gold can meet that requirement. With thousands of years of existence and recognition around the world, along with stability in value, gold is truly a safe haven. As for bitcoin, the asset that brings the highest profit but also has the highest risk, it does not meet the safety level. People just looking at its profitability and assuming it is a safe haven are incorrect, making that claim just because we are showing bias towards bitcoin.
I think bitcoin has the best level of security ever seen in a financial system. Bitcoin can never be hacked, but in many cases of hacking it is the fault of the users. Mistakes in using or practicing security methods make users lose their bitcoins regardless of whether they are stolen or due to other reasons such as losing access to the wallet. I believe bitcoin is one of the safest assets ever, but it depends on how users secure it.

Maybe you are right, bitcoin is not a safe haven but bitcoin deserves to be considered as a risky hedge. Not much different from gold, Bitcoin is believed to have good advantages as a hedge during inflation, although its price volatility can make the asset's value fluctuate.

That's right, so if you've managed to get a win then it's better to leave, I'm also always like that, leave and then enjoy the money from the winnings and leave a little for gambling next time.
Have you ever felt like you still really want to play after getting a big win? Of course this is the most common feeling experienced by every gambler, including me. I of course know that by stopping and exiting I can avoid the possibility of losing or losing my winnings, but it's not always easy to control my urges especially if I really think that this is a lucky day for me.

Going out and enjoying the win is wise advice, but I have to admit it's never easy. Some gamblers have to be willing to lose all their winnings just because they don't want to stop after winning something, it's definitely greed but that's the reality. IMO, many gamblers don't have good control even if they have put together the best possible plan.
573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 01, 2023, 09:52:15 PM
It's hard to say no when you're a gambler. Maybe it's just the level of addiction that varies between gamblers, even though they are addicts. I admit that I am an addict, but I don't think I'm so addicted that it ruins many things, including finances and so on. Self-control and finances are ways that allow gamblers to become less addicted, then not chasing wins to recover losses is another thing that needs to be considered.

Maybe this thread is not a way to avoid addiction, but based on the title alone; I am also a gambling addict, especially certain games like slots. The intensity has lessened as I focus on investing, but there is always a good time to indulge in some fun on a particular game in gambling.

Port Vale, Middlesbrough, West Ham, Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, Fulham and Newcastle are confirmed to have qualified for the next round of this season's EFL Cup. What surprised me was Arsenal's defeat to West Ham, while Manchester United's defeat to Newcastle seemed normal. Chelsea have been good, but Blackburn are a weak team.

It is true that the match is not over for Newcastle and Manchester United, but Manchester United has lost a lot to recover from a 3 goal deficit from Newcastle. This is not a surprise for Ten Hag even though he is playing his best player, meaning the team's performance is indeed poor.

Manchester United against Bayern will definitely lose. It doesn't matter that it will be a home game, Bayern are one of the best teams in the Champions League right now. Although if they give Manchester United a chance because they are in the playoffs anyway. But here are two away matches for Manchester United do not guarantee wins. Manchester is now in the danger zone.
I can't say for sure at all, but you're probably right because you got them both in different shapes. Ten Hag finds it very difficult to build the quality and good mentality of his team to win a tough match, let alone in the Champions League, he also finds it difficult in the Premier League. Bayern Munich is certainly much better and has a high chance of beating Manchester United in the two group stage meetings, while I can still try to believe that Manchester United can win some points in other matches.

Bayern Munich are favorites in the Champions League this season, while Manchester United appear not to be. But whatever it is, we can still expect differences because there are 3 more matches they will play in the group stage. I put Manchester United in doubt, but they are still worth fighting for.

I don't want to discuss Messi's now well-known qualities and career, ok he won the World Cup last year and he certainly had a big impact on the final verdict, but in my opinion this edition of the Ballon d'Or seemed like a farce, Haaland did it extraordinary things throughout the year! broke record after record, won the Premier League and the Champions League but it wasn't enough to receive the right recognition for what he did. My congratulations to Messi for having obtained his eighth Ballon d'Or, a record that is difficult to replicate
Winning the World Cup is not as easy as a team winning the Champions League. The World Cup is a big event that doesn't happen every year and not all super stars can win it with their country. Messi won it and I have to say that it has beaten the winner of the Champions League and the owner of other records such as top scorer, but Messi didn't just win it because of the World Cup.

There will always be those who hate him and there will always be those who love him, that is something that cannot be avoided because of disappointment and admiration. Messi has won 8 awards throughout his career, but I was impressed by his speech that basically Haaland could also win the award this season because of his performance and achievements last season.

To be honest, at the start of the season Bellingham only scored Tap In goals, aka easy goals. but in the Barcelona match, he scored a cool goal. I'm telling the truth, even though I'm a Barcelona supporter.  I started to see that Bellingham had experienced very significant improvement with Real Madrid.  at a young age, he has proven his quality and the way he plays. although, for me, not in all matches he performed optimally. But I admit, this English player has a bright career, especially if he is able to develop the talents he has.
In fact, Bellingham is a quality player and he proved that when he was playing for Dortmund last season. I'm just impressed with him because he has a quick process in adapting to La Liga, that's something that's good for him. Many players need time to adapt well to a team when they are brought in as a new player, but Bellingham seems to be able to pass that without much pressure.

He is still young and he can still develop to become the best in the world in the coming seasons. Real Madrid is lucky to have him because I almost always see Real Madrid winning the match when Bellingham scores a goal, this also happened in the El Clasico match a few days ago.
578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: October 30, 2023, 09:54:03 PM
I do not think there should be a limit for gambling, I think it retiring in gambling depends on the personal preference and financial capability.  Even if the person is not old if he is not capable to spend extra money for gambling, he must retire playing on gambling platform in order for him to support his and his family's need without any problem.

There are older people who is more than capable of spending money for gambling, I do not think we should limit them to play in gambling platform because of their age. As long as the person is having fun and is capable of spending money for gambling, they should continue to gamble regardless of age.
Gambling only limits underage gamblers, but they do not place restrictions on seniors. This means that even if you are 60 or 80 years old, you can still gamble, but I'm sure not many of them have the desire to gamble at that age. Even if there were, I think they would just go to land-based casinos instead of online casinos, perhaps for therapy for their blurry eyes or something else instead of gambling in earnest.

Bad record of red and blue matches. Man United lost again and their losing record continues. Not surprised but before that I hope Man United are able to give a fight and get at least 1 point. But in the game it seemed that Man United's mentality had lost before the game started. Man City is very domineering, so Man United is very difficult to create chances. Haaland's penalty made Man United's concentration even more shattered.  Man United's front line is not working well. In addition, Ten Hag should not replace with Mount. This substitution made it easier for Man City to make attacks.
The squad depth of the two teams is very different, moreover their performance is also different. Manchester City are much better at building attacks and defending, while the unstable Manchester United are much more likely to lose embarrassingly like that. Then from that, I think Manchester City deserved to win the derby more than Manchester United, especially because the motivation and self-confidence of their players is better than their rivals.

Ten Hag and his team have lost 5 this season in the Premier League in 10 matches, while they have won 5 matches. Their defense is problematic, as are their strikers who so far seem to have experienced a lot of decline. I'm sure Manchester United will not qualify for the Champions League next season, that's because of their poor performance.

I doubt if Barcelona will give Real Madrid to win this game,  Barcelona is playing more of a defensive game which Real Madrid is finding it very tough. I think Real Madrid players are struggling with the game to meet up with the strength of Barcelona players, Vinicius Jr is not very active like the way he used to be, he is struggling in the game. Real Madrid still have chances of scoring a goal having a player like jude Bellingham who have always scored goals in every game.
Real Madrid's game improved in the second half and several substitutions brought about a big change in the tempo. Barcelona didn't defend, they just needed to drop a little when Real Madrid tried to press. But it's true, the match became more balanced in the second half.

There's still plenty of time for both teams to score, but I think Barcelona still has a good chance of winning their home game. Barcelona were unlucky with several good chances, 2 of which hit the post. The chances of a draw are of course very high, but it is still very possible for both teams to score goals to win.
